In 1989, 23.4 billion pounds (10.7 billion kg) of beef and veal were produced in the United States and on January 1, 1991, there were 99.4 million cattle and calves in the United States.

America s farmers are among the most productive in the world, producing over 40% of the world s soybeans and com, 20% of the world s cotton and 24% of the world s beef and veal. America s agricultural production exceeds US 220 billion annually widi over 50 billion worth of agricultural products exported around the world in 2001 (4). 

Notes Animal samples included beef (beef and dairy cows), veal, pork (market hogs and sows), horse, and others. All samples were considered ok , indicating that the samples did not exceed MRLs and passed without need for further action. 

Source 1-Butanol naturally occurs in white mulberries and papaya fruit (Duke, 1992). Identified as one of 140 volatile constituents in used soybean oils collected from a processing plant that fried various beef, chicken, and veal products (Takeoka et al., 1996). 

Source Furfuryl occurs naturally in yarrow, licorice, sesame seeds, clove flowers, and tea leaves (Duke, 1992). Also detected in barrel-aged red, white, and model wines. Concentrations ranged from 3.5 mg/L in white wine after 55 wk of aging to 9.6 mg/L after 11 wk of aging (Spillman et ah, 1998). Identified as one of 140 volatile constituents in used soybean oils collected from a processing plant that fried various beef, chicken, and veal products (Takeoka et al, 1996). 

Significant amounts of CLA are found in muscle tissue from ruminant animals (Table 1). The CLA content for beef ranged from 2.9 to 4.3 mg CLA/g fat. Among ruminants lamb was the highest (5.6 mg CLA/g fat) and veal was the lowest (2.7 mg CLA/g fat). The cis-9, trans-11 isomer accounted for more than 79% of the total CLA isomers in meats. 

In 1994, the animal slaughter class most often associated with residues were bob veal calves, culled dairy cows, both beef and cull cows, and market hogs. Residues associated with injectable drugs accounted for approximately 42% of the violations. This was followed by the oral route and the intramammary route. Most of the drugs that caused the residues were purchased from a feed/ farm supply store or veterinarian. The primary cause of residue violations was failure to adhere to the approved withdrawal periods. Other causes included failure to keep proper animal identification and treatment records and extralabel use exceeding recommended dosage. 

Apart from differences between muscle tissues from various parts of an animal, there are qualitative and quantitative differences in composition between animal species. Therefore, analytical methods will always have lo be tested on material from each individual species, since differences in fat composition, in the presence of species-specific proteins, and in colored components such as in the case of myoglobin in poultry and beef may influence both the extraction and the separation of the analytes. As an example, a recovery higher than 70% was obtained for furazolidone after spiking chicken and veal calf muscle tissue but only 10% after spiking pork tissue (16). In this study, the recovery from pork meat could markedly be improved by addition to the aqueous exfraction solvent of about 25% acetonitrile, an observation indicating binding of furazolidone to pork-specific proteins. 

Analysis of the volatiles from irradiated ground beef, pork, mutton, lamb, and veal showed that the compounds formed are essentially the same in all the meats. All of the samples were irradiated at a dose of 6 megarads, and the volatiles produced show the presence of more than 80 compounds,...
